As it turns out I have an extra ticket to the folk festival for Saturday. If anyone wants it send me a message and you can pick it up tomorrow or Friday

Edmonton I was an extra in an Oscar winning movie. I won an Oscar. Rob runs on Irn Bru.
Aww man I know he was old but sad to hear about Lloyd Robertson. He dropped by the station in Charlottetown one day and good sport that he was decided to pop on to cohost the afternoon drive show for a bit. He kept trying to interview me the whole time “sorry old habits”
We’ve had a fair bit of rain today. I had anyone checked on downtown? I wonder if that’s still there.
This would be a bad night to park under a tree in Edmonton
Said fuck it and ordered a set from Long and McQuade. It’ll take two weeks to get here but at least the odds of them sending me used strings are low.
ÆthelRob, The Unready@somewhatrob.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s my own fault for ordering from Amazon but apparently they’re reselling used bass strings now? I’m not even sure what these went on. The B had a 90 degree kink in it halfway up. Someone tried to put Bass VI strings on a ukulele?
Got the lawn done so ready for tornadoes or whatever
Today’s plan is to mow the lawn before the usual violent Saturday storm.

I don’t watch a lot of American tv but when I do it hits me how incredibly violent much of it is.
I think Burnham should try and get the capital moved to Huddersfield so down the road people can complain about the out of touch elites in Huddersfield.

people happy about rain me: "you're not from around here are you?"
Still seems surreal that a wildfire is burning in Suffolk a stones throw from where my mum grew up and a part of England I knew well. www.suffolk.gov.uk/suffolk-fire...
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service has been called to reports of a large wildfire at Dunwich Heath that is spreading rapidly south-west towards St James' Church, off Westleton Road.

I’ve never been to any kind of Folk Fest before. I guess that’s gonna change this year.
I am sympathetic to actors struggling for gigs but I wish nothing but ill fortune to anyone who’s agreed to appear in or produce a sports betting ad. History is gonna look on this era somewhat the same as advertising OxyContin
People don’t talk about Harold Faltermeyer much these days.
One thing I never saw coming was the popularity of cursive with young people.
America, confidently wrong about a lot of stuff since 1776
Eric Geller@ericjgeller.com · 6d ago"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."
Guess I'm farming some sub optimal land and wondering whether the old country was really all that bad. Or I'm a mason wondering if cutting rocks is really the best use of my time.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · last wk.Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
Not sure who did this but they should be arrested immediately.
It all started with that fucken paperclip. I knew that fucker was gonna be a problem

A wildfire burning in Suffolk on Dunwich Heath? Record rain in Edmonton, Alberta. Uh England, sorry, it seems we may have swapped climates this summer.
All these gambling ads are gonna make me give up everything that delivers ads. I’ll just be off living in the bush
They interviewed a separatist activist on the news then dropped the fact that he’d done time for his role in a murder 20 years ago. They’re really bringing out the best and brightest.
If we were just getting snow this summer we would have received around 16 feet of snow.
wetter than Vancouver. wetter than Vancouver.
Courtney Theriault@ctheriault.bsky.social · last wk.Edmonton has not only set a record for its wettest summer on record, the city's 2026 rainfall has surpassed the records for Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal... ... And there's still a month to go! globalnews.ca/news/1199717...
